A Hebrew letter (ף or פ) representing a consonant sound, often transliterated as 'f' or 'ph' in English.
From Hebrew פ (pe), meaning 'mouth,' as the letter's shape originally resembled an open mouth. It entered English through biblical and linguistic scholarship.
The letter feff is one of the few Hebrew letters whose name literally describes its original pictograph—it used to look like a mouth, and that's exactly what 'pe' means!
